[DXBase] adding a backup feature to DXBase

Bill, I recall that post and its very detailed and complex steps. Isn't
it just as effective to compress the .mdb, .co and .ini files with
WinZip and export them to a floppy every so often/every contest? 
Say yes, 'cause that's how I back up :-)

Subject: [DXBase] adding a backup feature to DXBase
Couple days ago I posted a way to create .bat file to backup DXBase
critical
files.
My version was based on Tony Cash's batch file.
Well duh! Don't know why I didn't think of this.
But I used the Programs Menu feature to create a 'Backup' by Adding it
to
the Menu.
So I don't even have to close DXB.
For some reason while you can't Copy/Paste your .mdb file with DXBase
open
using Windows Explorer.
I can run the batch file from within DXBase and it will copy files with
no
problem.
I think Windows Explorer will not allow you to move a file currently
being
used by a program.
But the batch file, which runs in a Dos box, will.
Remember if you haven't backed up...it's not a question of IF. just a
matter
of WHEN!
